Seems in line with "stolen valor" people that act like they were in combat zones in the military. I have run into many of these types, all pretty much have the same thing... They have not accomplished anything themselves, they personally over glorify the individuals they are copying wanting to be them, and have extremely low self esteem if you get to peel back all the onion layers. That is why they protect from the layers being peeled... It's not about being caught or trying to out smart others, they are hiding thier inadequacies from themselves.

I do find it sad when someone feels the need to invent a life instead of just putting in the work and feel good about themselves.
